Mark has always been surrounded by music and musical instruments: "Growing up, we always had a pianos, guitars, and a saxophone in the house. I even had a set of drums for a when I was a teenager. But it was the saxophone that spoke to me and always felt the most right in my hands."

And the saxophone is the perfect instrument for that - everybody loves the sax and the sax makes everybody feel good!”

Mark says, “I’m really lucky because it's my job in life to be a sax player and I get to make music that helps people feel good. I'm a strong believer in the power to the saxophone to heal - people just feel better when they hear it. It is my sincere hope that my music uplifts you, relaxes you, romances you, enlightens you, enlivens you, and otherwise just makes you feel good.”
